We offer our sincere commiserations to Chris Poole, better known as moot – a hugely influential web entrepreneur, who has recently announced the failure of his start-up venture Canvas, and it’s Drawquest feature.

In an incredibly expressive and inspiring blog post, Chris, although terribly saddened, used the opportunity as a experience to grow from, and expressed his gratitude to the people that helped build up this enterprise.

He writes, “[with] that said, life goes on, and the best path forward is not a wounded one, but a more learned and motivated one.” – a philosophy we can all learn from.
